My name is Lea Casey. I am excited to begin my year 14th year of teaching and my first year in 5th grade at East Elementary along with returning as sponsor of the EES Math Team. I began my career in 2002 in Florida where I taught 8th grade Science at Jinks Middle School and 4th grade at Lynn Haven Elementary. I moved back to Cullman in 2009. Since I have been teaching at East Elementary I have taught 4th grade, 6th grade, sponsored the EES Math Team, and EES Yearbook. I have a Bachelor's Degree from Auburn University (2000) and a Master's Degree from Florida State University (2008). 

I am blessed to have one child, Noah, who attends Cullman High School and will be in 10th grade. He is a member of the CHS Cross Country and Track & Field teams.

In my spare time I love running, swimming, yard work, being outdoors, cooking, and reading. We also love spending as much time as possible with our 4-year-old Maltese Terrier, Lucy. She is definitely the princess of the house! We are members of Northbrook Baptist Church. We love spending time with our church family. 

I am very excited about my first year in 5th grade with all my former 4th graders doing what I LOVE...Math! I absolutely love my job and could not dream of a better place to work!!
